The only way I can get my head around this and stop myself exploding with rage is to convince myself it is a rather clever and amusing piece of sarcasm (it's not of course)

(scroll down to the 'Commentary' bit - the headline is 'Football - the last place a man can be a bloke'. If that makes you angry, do not read any further)

If ever proof was needed that misogyny is alive and well.... and being spouted by a woman! Please tell me no-one actually thinks like this

Sorry I derailed :(

To my surprise, in the DM poll alongside that article: "Should sky's football pundits be sacked" 59% voted yes.

Butterbur, yes it is very surprising. I've been pleasantly surprised by how this whole thing has been responded to - most people seem to feel quite appalled at such blaitant sexism and seem to feel it's every bit as disgusting as racism. So that's definitely something to hold on to amongst all the Angry-making stuff

Do you mean the readers comments, or the opinions of the 'journalists'?

I have read some shocking things by DM readers in the comments section in the DM online, generally about women, and oftentimes written by women :(

DM also think it is entirely appropiate to show the obligitory up skirt and bikini photos cropped from her my space as any woman in the public eye must have these pictures.That Dailyt Mail is actual sexism,

An effective regime is one that uses the subjects of oppression to enforce and confirm the beliefs of that regime with other subjects (I am badly paraphrasing I blame the patriarchy). Hence female journos spouting misogynistic nonsense. Success for patriarchy lovers everywhere.
